5 Reasons to Elope
It can be a whole lot cheaper, if you want it to be. Because you don’t have to cater for and entertain 80-200 people, it’s going to be infinitely cheaper to elope. Less time, less people, less money.
You can put your spend into the things you really want. If you’ve always loved extravagant wedding flowers, or if you’ve always wanted a custom suit or if you’ve always wanted an elaborate dinner with violins and festoon lights rivalling the night sky, you can direct your budget to splurge on the things you want too.
An elopement is more intimate. If you’ve felt intimidated by speaking in front of 100 people, speaking your vows out loud, if you’ve felt pressured to invite relatives just because, you can skip all of that and opt for an intimate, private ceremony. You can have no guests, you can have 6 or 10 and at Faithwood you can have up to 24 guests.
Your day is totally customisable. If you want to have breakfast together at the beach and then get ready together you can. If you want to go vintage shopping afterwards in a convertible you can. You can go swim at the beach, you can go do, see, eat, play absolutely anything. You can go get burgers and go back to your hotel room! It’s a day just for the two of you to celebrate your love.
It is way less stress. With less people knowing, and less people coming, there will be less time for opinions and for overthinking. You can wear shoes you already own so you don’t get blisters, if you don’t love wearing white you can wear anything you like - you could even get married in your favorite PJ’s.
